Usually P2 is being oppressed by the inbuilt assymetries of the system isn't it?

I dunno, the ability to have last move so you can cut off your opponent from supply or relieve your own troops trumps, in my mind, most of player2's disadvantages.
I'm not really concerned about the 'advantage' part, just my AARs are only hslf-true regarding the air-war when I am Player 1.

How would P1 know what the losses are going to be for the entire turn if the entire turn isn't over yet? OH....you mean have the game engine forcast what the losses are going to be. Oh, ok.

I think he rather means that player one gets a air report summary for the previos turn on the beginning of a new turn.

Status: offline 		Again it seems something that would be better served by splitting the turn end functions to occur between every turn - so P1 gets a report on the previous turn (P2) plus accumulated losses so far this turn, and P2 gets a report on the previous P1 turn and losses so far on his one as normal.

Well, yes, but I'm hoping for a quick fix before they A) fix P1/2 assymetiries, or B) release T4.
